About Mediastats Inc.

Mediastats has a long history of excellence in the fields of communications and entertainment data.

Mediastats was founded in 1974 and incorporated in 1975. It’s original products and services included schedule programming for Cable Operators and Over-the-air Broadcasters, broadcast schedule verification and reports on programming alignments across a wide range of channels and services. In the early years, channel line-up data was added for the Cable and Satellite industries.

In the early 90s, the incorporation of a Toronto engineering firm, John Rode Data Systems–under the name MediaLAB–made it possible for Mediastats to expand its technical offerings. Broadcast engineering and software development were added, allowing Mediastats to develop professional-standard systems for its own porcesses and for customers.

Today, Mediastats’ portfolio includes Cable IPTV and Satellite Channel line-up data for guides, EPGs and IPGs, for all of the Americas, as well as Western Europe. In addition, Mediastats offers GIS-based broadcast contour casting and postal data capture, for those same markets. This, in conjunction with Mediastats’ cable data, allows the programming of searchable data for all guide-like systems for the hemisphere.

Our services include rights-based programming of head end matrix switchers on behalf of Broadcasters and genre and origin coding for the North American film and television industry. In addition, we provide many research services in the areas of program line-ups, program content and content categories both current and historical.

These are a few of the products and services we have offered for the last 50-years. If it happened in communications and entertainment, we were there.
